For the second day in a row, several Delhi schools received bomb threats on Saturday. Among the schools which received the threat call was Delhi Public School in the RK Puram area which also received a similar threat on Friday. The threat call was received in the school during the early hours of the day at around 6:09 am. Subsequently, the school administration informed the police and fire department.
The police and fire department officials conducted a security check of the premises but no suspicious object was found, which indicates that it also might be a hoax threat. The latest threats mark third such incident in less than a week and the second day in a row.
40 schools receive bomb threat
Earlier on Friday, several schools in the national capital received bomb threat calls. These schools included Bhatnagar Public School, Paschim Vihar, Cambridge School Shri Niwas Puri, DPS East of Kailash, Venkatesh Public School Rohini, DPS Vasant Kunj, British School, Modern School, DPS RK Puram, NDPS School, SDP School Defense Colony, Salwan Public School, Richmond Global School, DAV School Daryaganj, Mount Carmel School, Don Bosco School and STS School among others.
Reacting to threat mails, DCP South West Surendra Chaudhary said, "In our South West district, mail was received in 4 schools at around 12:54 am and it was about the presence of explosives in the schools. Our teams went and checked and followed proper SOP and we did not find anything suspicious there. We also informed the school authorities and also told the parents not to panic..."
As per reports, schools received an email which read, "This email is to inform you that there are many explosives in your school premises and I am sure that you all do not check your students' bag frequently when they enter the school premises. A secret dark web group is involved in this activity and many red rooms also. The bombs are powerful enough to destroy the buildings and harm people. And, from today till December 14, means tomorrow, on both of the days, there is an expected parent-teacher meeting to have happened And, through our dark sources, it is also confirmed that one of the schools involved in all the emails is currently conducting marching for their sports day, in which students gather in a collective field, making a huge crowd, which is a clear advantage, while the building will be left alone with only a few staffs and no one to look around."
